Chapter 590 The Unmasking

“But James, I’ll stay with you-”

“Rence, what reality do you want my James to accept? Lily is fine. Why would he need stay with him? You and your disgusting mother are both experts at being repulsive!”

Renee’s eyes flew wide.

Wasn’t Grace already dead–how could she hear her voice? Had she gone

mad?

you to

Momentarily stunned, she glanced toward the source and saw Nancy and Lily descending the stairs, one on each side, supporting Grace by the arms.

Susan’s face went utterly pale.

To her, Soren was utterly devoted; he would never lie to her. So what were these three doing here?

Shocked, hurt, and disappointed, she looked at Soren. “Soren, didn’t you say they were–how can they possibly-”

“Susan, I did say everything will happen as you wished.” Soren’s voice no longer carried respect or fondness. It was laced instead with a chilling loathing and coldness. “You were seeking your own death. Everything unfolded exactly as you wanted.”

“What?”

Sudden realization hit Susan. She rose, then her legs gave out and she collapsed back to the floor in humiliation.

Soren rolled his eyes with contempt. He didn’t know whether to call this woman narcissistic or simply stupid.

Back in school he’d fancied her, even written her love letters. But teenage crushes paled beside twenty years of companionship with his wife.

When he saw Susan kissing that punk outside school, he’d already let go of his feelings for her. If not for her friendship with Nancy bringing her occasionally to the Luke house, he would have forgotten she existed.

Grace had saved his life more than once. She’d sponsored the orphaned Soren’s education, helped him marry, and the house he lived in after marriage had been Grace’s gift. He was fiercely loyal to the Luke family.

He would rather die than betray them. What right did Susan have to assume that a bit of false

Ugh!

With her fake, poisonous charm, she had the gall to imagine she was a goddess? No–he would never betray the Luke family.

So as soon as he got Susan’s call last night, the first thing he did was tell Grace everything.

The more he looked at Susan and her daughter, the more disgusted he became. He had said bluntly, “Susan, you live in delusion. With your filthy ways you want to marry a gentleman? As for

your daughter Rence… if my daughter behaved that shamelessly I’d beat her to death. She’s brainless and shameless; she’s not fit to even carry my boss lady’s shoes. You two were raised in filth–your heads are full of shit, aren’t they?”

“No–no way…”

Susan was stunned into silence, her face ashen, whispering that she couldn’t accept Soren betraying her. “You promised me. It can’t be―”

Slap!

Grace suddenly stepped forward and with all her strength struck Susan across the face.

“You tried to get Lily killed, poisoned Nancy… Susan, you and the little beast you bore deserve to die. Tell me how should I make you two die tonight?”

Susan shuddered violently.

She hadn’t expected Grace to know about the poison. She wasn’t dumb; she would never confess. She sniffed and, putting on a pitiable show, looked at Grace and shook her head. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Nancy is my best friend–how could I hurt her? I raised James for three years; I treated him like my own son. How could I harm his wife and child? I never meant to hurt you. Soren is a spurned lover who turned hatredful—he’s slandering me.”

Soren’s mouth twitched. His wife was so much better than Susan; there was no way he’d ever been a spurned lover of hers. Susan’s self–aggrandizing delusions were hopeless.

Grace felt disgusted at Susan’s lies. She snorted coldly. “You call James your child?”

“Wake up. Your child is that stinking pest Renee. You could never give birth to someone as good as James!”
